The organiser of the Summer School is UERA (Ukrainian Educational Research Association). The Summer School is conducted in the framework of UERA project ‘Enhancing Higher Education Reform in Ukraine.’
The project is funded by the United States Department of State grant for the United States programmes alumni.
The Summer School will be taking place at Ivan Franko Lviv National University.
The Summer School is a 3.5-day intensive research training organised by the newly established Ukrainian Educational Research Association (UERA) and supported by the United States Department of State grant for the US-programmes alumni.
What is the purpose?
The primary objective of the summer school is to select 30 prospective trainers representing all geographical regions of Ukraine (as defined by the UN Resolution ‘Ukraine’s Territorial Integrity’ (March 27, 2014)) and train them in the critical aspects of research design, grantwriting, methodology and publications. The trainers will be required to provide similar trainings in their respective universities within 3 months after attending the summer school. The willingness to actively participate in the future UERA research projects is the prerequisite for participating in the summer school. The selection for the summer school is competitive to ensure the success of the training.
Who are the participants?
The school will bring 30 early- and mid-career researchers from all over Ukraine and the US-programme alumni for mutual exchange of expertise in advances in education research. Ten places in the School will be reserved for the representatives from Displaced Universities in Ukraine. The workshops will be conducted in English and Ukrainian.
However, the knowledge of English is a must for understanding the School’s content. The prior engagement in CPD (continuous professional development) activities for colleagues is also important because school participants will be required to give similar trainings upon return to their home universities. The conference organisers will reimburse travel and accommodation expenses for all selected participants.
